  • Column sorting: Each column in the costs breakdown modal can now be sorted in ascending or descending order.
  • Flexible analysis: Sort by any available field to quickly identify your highest or lowest cost entries.
  • Instant results: Sorting is applied immediately without reloading the page, keeping your workflow smooth.

Advantages:

  • Faster insights: Pinpoint the most significant costs in your fleet without manually scanning through unsorted data.

Feature

fleetster Total Cost of Ownership report with the Columns dropdown open, showing checkboxes to toggle which cost columns appear in the vehicles table.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers

The TCO table now lets you choose which cost columns are displayed, so you can focus on the dimensions that matter most to your fleet without wading through irrelevant data.

What's new:

  • Column chooser: Select which cost category columns appear in the TCO table, hiding any that are not relevant to your analysis.
  • Cleaner view: Hidden columns are removed entirely from the table, making it easier to read and compare the figures you care about.
  • Always-on essentials: Core identifying columns such as Vehicle and cost per month always remain visible, keeping the table meaningful no matter which optional columns you hide.

Advantages:

  • Focused analysis: See only the cost dimensions relevant to your fleet, reducing visual clutter and speeding up decision-making.

Analytics: TCO costs breakdown handle multiple currencies

10/15/2026, 3.216

Feature
Reporting
Damages and accidents cost breakdown in the fleetster TCO report, with a tooltip showing the original invoice amount in pounds and the exchange rate used to convert it to euros.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers & controllers

The TCO cost detail view now makes foreign-currency costs fully transparent, showing exactly where a converted figure comes from so you can reconcile it against any document or set of books without opening the original record.

What's new:

  • Foreign currency indicator: When a cost was originally entered in a currency other than your company currency, a discreet currency code appears alongside the converted amount, making it immediately clear that a conversion has taken place.
  • Conversion details on demand: Hovering or tapping the currency indicator reveals a tooltip with the original amount, the converted amount, the exchange rate used, and the date that rate applies to.
  • Manual override visibility: If a converted amount was set by hand rather than derived from a rate, the tooltip says so explicitly — no rate is shown where none was used.
  • Layout stays clean: The currency indicator is styled to complement rather than compete with the amount, and numeric columns remain neatly aligned.

Advantages:

  • Effortless document matching: You can instantly connect a line in the TCO report to the invoice or contract on your desk, even when the currencies differ.
  • Full audit trail: The exchange rate and its reference date are visible directly on the line, so any converted figure can be explained and verified without chasing down the source record.
  • Clarity on manual adjustments: Knowing whether a conversion was automatic or manually set gives controllers the confidence to sign off on figures without ambiguity.

Analytics: TCO display when was last time calculated

10/15/2026, 3.216

Feature
Reporting
fleetster Total Cost of Ownership report showing an "All costs are up to date" indicator with a tooltip explaining that costs refresh nightly between 04:00 and 05:00.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers & Control Tower admins

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) report now shows when its figures were last calculated, so you always know how fresh the data is before acting on it or sharing it.

What's new:

  • Last-updated indicator: A clear, unobtrusive label in the TCO page header shows exactly when the most recent calculation completed — for example, "Updated today, 2:41 AM".
  • Adaptive label: The label automatically adjusts based on how old the figures are, showing "Updated today", "Updated yesterday", or a specific date — so you never have to do the mental arithmetic yourself.
  • Helpful tooltip: Hovering, focusing, or tapping the indicator reveals a short explanation confirming that TCO figures are recalculated once a day and that costs entered since then will appear after the next nightly update.
  • First-run state: If no calculation has ever been run for a company, the indicator clearly shows "Not calculated yet" rather than leaving the page blank or ambiguous.

Advantages:

  • No more false alarms: If you enter an invoice and the total hasn't changed yet, the indicator immediately explains why — saving you from re-entering costs or raising a support ticket.
  • Confident reporting: Before exporting or presenting figures, you can see at a glance how current they are, so you never unknowingly share outdated data.
  • Full transparency: Vehicles that appear without costs are easier to interpret — you can tell whether data is genuinely missing or simply hasn't been included in the latest calculation yet.

Improvement
fleetster Refuelling & Charging screen with 30-day summary tiles and the highway station issues tab open, listing records by vehicle, driver, date, fuel station, and cost.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers

Refuelling at highway fuel stations can cost significantly more per litre than at regular stations, yet these events were previously invisible in the system. Fleet managers can now automatically detect, review, and act on highway refuelling entries — without relying on manual audits.

What's new:

  • Highway Refuelling Issues tab: A dedicated tab in the Refuelling & Charging section surfaces all unresolved highway refuelling events in one place, including details such as vehicle, driver, fuel station, amount, and cost.
  • Issue detail view: Opening an affected entry displays a clear highway refuelling alert alongside the relevant refuelling details, making it easy to assess the situation at a glance.
  • Send Warning Email: Fleet managers can send a formal policy reminder directly to the responsible driver with a single action, including a confirmation step to prevent accidental sends. Once sent, the issue is automatically marked as resolved.
  • Dismiss or reopen: If no notification is needed, the issue can be dismissed with a confirmation prompt. Dismissed issues can be reopened at any time if a follow-up is required.

Advantages:

  • Full visibility: Highway refuelling events are automatically flagged and collected in a dedicated view, eliminating the need for manual cost reviews.
  • Faster resolution: Fleet managers can notify drivers and close issues directly from the same screen, reducing the time from detection to action.
  • Better cost control: Proactive driver communication helps reinforce fuel policy compliance and reduces avoidable overspend across the fleet.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers

The TCO report can now display all costs in either net or gross amounts, so you can read figures in the format your finance process requires — without any manual conversion.

What's new:

  • Net/gross toggle: A control at the report level lets you switch the entire report between net and gross amounts at any time.
  • Universal update: Switching between net and gross instantly updates every monetary figure in the report, including the mini-analytics summaries.
  • Net as default: The report opens in net view by default, keeping existing workflows unchanged.
  • Consistent handling: Costs that have no tax information are clearly flagged when gross view is selected, so you always know which figures are complete.

Advantages:

  • Saves time: No more manual conversions — switch to the view your finance team needs in one step.
  • Reduces errors: Seeing gross figures directly in the report removes the risk of miscalculation when working with VAT-inclusive costs.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers

The Total Cost of Ownership report now includes a visual cost bar on each vehicle row, scaled against the highest-cost vehicle in the current list, so you can instantly spot outliers without comparing numbers line by line.

What's new:

  • At-a-glance comparison: Each vehicle row displays a horizontal bar whose width reflects that vehicle's share of the highest cost in the list — no mental arithmetic required.
  • Always in context: The bars automatically rescale whenever you apply a filter, change the sort order, or adjust the date range, so the widest bar always represents the current top-cost vehicle.
  • Zero-cost handling: Vehicles with no recorded cost in the selected period show an empty bar cleanly, with no display errors.

Advantages:

  • Faster outlier detection: Cost outliers stand out visually at a glance, reducing the time spent scanning rows of figures on large fleets.
  • Accurate relative view: Because bars rescale with every list change, the comparison always reflects exactly what is currently on screen.
  • Cleaner decision-making: A visual summary alongside the numbers makes it easier to prioritize which vehicles to investigate or act on.

RELEVANT FOR: Fleet managers & Control Tower admins

The SCIM integration now supports automatic synchronization of line manager assignments from Microsoft Entra ID, keeping your organizational hierarchy in fleetster accurate without any manual effort.

What's new:

  • Automatic manager sync: When a user's line manager is set or updated in Microsoft Entra ID, that relationship is now automatically reflected in fleetster during SCIM provisioning.
  • Manager changes handled seamlessly: If a user's manager changes in your identity provider, fleetster updates the assignment accordingly — no manual intervention needed.
  • Manager removal supported: When a line manager is unassigned in Microsoft Entra ID, fleetster clears the manager field for that user, keeping records consistent.
  • Works with existing users: The sync works reliably whether users were created through SCIM or were already present in fleetster before SCIM provisioning was set up.

Advantages:

  • Always up to date: Organizational hierarchies stay in sync automatically, eliminating the need for fleet administrators to manually maintain manager relationships in fleetster.
  • Reduced admin overhead: Changes made in your central identity provider flow through to fleetster without any additional steps, saving time and reducing the risk of outdated data.

  • Faster orientation: Users can quickly confirm where a menu item leads without needing to click or explore.
  • Consistent experience: Tooltips appear across all header menu items, providing a uniform and predictable interaction throughout the platform.
